I am informed that technically Ireland had breached the convention because the investigations carried out by the Garda, the Director of Public Prosecutions and the coroner were deemed not to have met the criteria and that that was what led to the discussion. The agreement was that there would be a commission of investigation.
It was agreed that it would be seen as the effective mechanism.
